For my Staverton Park Golf Course Review my society played one Saturday in June and we soon realised that the course was overbooked and we were in for a very long round. On some tees there were at least 3 fourballs waiting to play. There were 2 rangers patrolling the course in carts - one ranger had a severe attitude problem the other was charming and helpful. The latter apologised for the slow play and explained that it was always like it at weekends as the owners were only interested in money and always overbook the course.
The course has some interesting holes - some have out of bounds running up the right hand side. The few ponds and lakes do not really come into play.
The bunkers are some of the largest bunkers you will ever see on a golf course but in my view the sand was the wrong sort - far to fine and far too much of it. Many of the bunkers needed raking properly as they were in poor condition.
The view down the 18th is the worst of all the hundreds of courses I have played.
Instead of a pleasant clubhouse patio behind the green where members can sit and watch golfers of a summer evening, there is a hideous monstrosity of the 3 story hotel block - clearly designed by architects more familiar with high security prisons.
Back in the clubhouse - after 5 hours - the final sting. There was a wedding reception going on and when we finally had somebody come to serve us, we were told that beer was a rip-off £5 a pint.
Clearly the De-Vere sales and marketing hype is working as the course was heaving.
Whether golfers will return for a second visit is another matter. I know that our society probably wont

Reviewed by JamesRAs I pulled into the car park at Staverton Park to do my Golf Course Review - I looked at the 1950's style buildings and didnt expect too much of the course. But the motto of the story is dont judge a course by its first appearance.
I loved the course as it has some great holes that are challenging but offer a good chance of a birdie.
There is a dogs-leg left where water guards the right hand side of the fairway and green, but if you are brave you can angle your shot over the trees and go straight for the green. Just be careful to select the right club as anything too long will end up in the drink.
Again I got a good rate through a last minute deal, but if you fancy a good challenge then the Staverton Park Golf Course is one for you.
